Killing Time
Killing Time
Black as coal, creeping shadow its role Pays no mind to the march of time Silent stone-cold, it slowly takes hold Secretly consuming, unsuspecting looming Has it made, dues he surely paid Bites him hard, lets down his guard Doorbell rings, ignores the sting Bill comes due, misses that other shoe Fathers mothers, sisters and brothers Same old song plays to all the others Newfound appreciation, new friend desperation Forced smile on the outside, rotting on the inside Hope an illusion, clinging to delusion Inevitable to follow, promises so hollow All options tried, fate will not be denied Breath it steals with the sword it wields Knows no names, blade cuts just the same Saps the will, the spirit it kills Fathers mothers, friends and brothers Same old song plays to all the others |
:( That was very sad Kerri. Have a feeling I know what what gave you the emotion to write it. This is my favorite verse:
~Newfound appreciation, new friend desperation Forced smile on the outside, rotting on the inside Hope an illusion, clinging to delusion Inevitable to follow, promises so hollow~ as always though great work! :hugs: |
Thanks as always, Kris. I wish I could write about happier occasions, but I always seem inspired when it's something bad. Just a way to express, I guess.
|
That seems to be the way for most people. It's the only time I feel inspired to write as well.
|
Yeah! Great poem for sure Dogstar! :thumbsup:
My fav verse is : Breath it steals with the sword it wields Knows no names, blade cuts just the same |
Thanks, WW!
|
Kerri that was really really moving.
|
I liked the last verse,All options tried fate will not be denied :jam: :jam: :jam: Good One
|
Thanks, you guys :).
I know I said I don't write about too many happy things, but my mom had an idea for a card for my friend's wife, about his death not being a permanent thing...I told her I'd try to come up with something, and I did :), something a little more hopeful: He痴 really not so far away Though his body痴 left his earthly place Close your eyes and sit a spell You'll surely find him, time will tell You値l see his smile on a friendly face You値l hear his music when the robins sing You値l feel his warmth when the sun bathes the sky You値l find his strength when the ocean cradles you You値l see his hope in the eyes of a child You値l hear his laughter in a late-night howl You値l feel his touch when the rain kisses your cheek You値l find his love when the wind whispers your name He痴 really not so far away Though he can稚 be by your side your way When you池e feeling alone and blue Remember, he値l always be with you |
Wow, Kerri, I've got tears in my eyes. That was beautiful. Truly beautiful.
|
Have to go with Teri on this one. That was beautiful ,Kerri.
